Bullet Accuracy?

Hi, I’m using a cube at the end of my gun as a spawn placement for a Bullet Prefab. When firing I spawn a bullet instead of raycasting. All of the collision code is on the Bullet, using the code below though bullets bounce off of objects and instead of firing in a straight line they tend to curve. Is a RigidBody the best way to imitate Bullets or is there another method?

public class Bullet : MonoBehaviour {

	public Rigidbody rb;
	public Transform Parent;

	void Start() {
		rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
		Parent = gameObject.transform.parent;
		StartCoroutine ("Delete");
	}

	void Update() {
		rb.AddForce (transform.forward * 1000);
	}

	IEnumerator Delete() {
		yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);
		Destroy (gameObject);
	}
}

Whether or not it’s best depends on the goals of your game. The typical first person shooter would use a ray cast.

If you want your bullet to ignore gravity you can set the RigidBody.useGravity property.
